Blackout Love

Australian Premiere

Valeria (Anna Foglietta, Perfect Strangers IFF16) has her life completely figured out. She moves from one relationship to the other, without ever looking back. She coaches a women’s volleyball team, and her coaching goes well beyond the rules of the game, teaching her girls how to be independent and to avoid pain when dealing with love.

The only man she ever lowered her guard for was her ex-boyfriend Marco (Alessandro Tedeschi, The Invisible Witness) who left her heartbroken.

When, after a very unusual accident, he suddenly comes back into her life, Valeria decides the time has come to exact her revenge on him. But it will not be as easy as she thinks, as sometimes letting go of love means growing up.

The debut film from Francesca Marino, Blackout Love is a fun and biting comedy exploring modern love told from the perspective of an unconventional female character.
